The hint offering to background a long Bash command is gone

Bash no longer suggests backgrounding a long-running command; commands can still end up backgrounded when a turn is aborted.

What

Bash no longer shows the prompt telling you a long-running command can be moved to the background; that plumbing is deleted rather than relocated, going from 14 occurrences in 2.1.246 to none. In its place the tool result gained backgroundedByTurnAbort, documented as true when a plugin's turn abort moved the running command to the background.

Details
  • The tool now passes a caller identity into the shell runner.
  • The persisted-output path passes the session's storage version through to the directory-ensure call.
  • Unconditional; nothing gates it.
Evidence

@internal True if a plugin's turn abort moved the running command to the background

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
